Something very strange happened on Sunday: The Red Sox got a win, on the road, against the Rays, and it all felt very normal! Not that wins have become the norm, of course, but it was a fairly non-descript win in a season where wins have been like pulling teeth. Martín Pérez wasn’t great and had his defense betray him a few times, but he got through five solid innings. The bullpen was very good, with Ryan Brasier continuing to look like his 2018 self and Phillips Valdez chugging along. They got two homers from guys name Christian, with Vázquez and Arroyo each smacking one.
